Mnesia Bag table - How to wrtie a query to return results grouped by bag
I am using Mnesia via Memento with the table type bag:
defmodule Tasks.Todos.Schema.V2.Todo do
alias Tasks.Todos.Schema.V2.Todo
use Memento.Table,
attributes: [
:uid,
:user_uid,
:date,
:title,
:done,
:hash,
:inserted_at,
:updated_at,
],
index: [
:user_uid,
:hash,
:date,
# :done,
],
# https://learnyousomeerlang.com/ets#the-concepts-of-ets
type: :bag
end
The intention of using the type bag is to keep all versions of each updated Todo.
A set of records in the database looks like this:
iex(28)> Tasks.Todos.list_by_date! "2020-06-26", "5de054556a456423c7d7a2778e8fb53fef43ce8d721db835575e76b436e6a804"

When queering by date I get all todos as expected, but I would like the result to be grouped by bag.
So from the records above I would like to have the Todo with title "Upgrade to Elixir 10" and "Upgrade to Elixir 10.3" grouped together… Yes I know that is like asking for group by from SQL, but after all this a bag table, thus I think it is reasonable to have this expectation ![]()
My query:
Memento.transaction fn -> Memento.Query.select(Todo, [{:==, :user_uid, user_uid}, {:==, :date, date}]) end
I tried to read the Erlang docs about Mnesia but I was not able to figure out any way of accomplish what I want, maybe is because I don’t know Erlang or because its not really possible to do with the query syntax.
NOTE: I know that I can sort this out with ELixir when I get the records back, but that is not what I am asking for
First Post!
JeyHey
I don’t know the solution but a workaround would be to do it in 2 steps:
- Get all keys with mnesia:all_keys/1 (or mnesia:dirty_all_keys/1)
- Read all keys with mnesia:read/3. This gives a list with the bag for every key.
This can be done in a transaction to lock the db I think.
